Introducing the Nindies Love You group sale! We love Nintendo gamers so much that we decided to get together and organize a special group sale just for you. This special sale starts on February 11th and lasts for 2 great weeks. All games listed will be 50% off!

Now that ZaciSa’s Last Stand new patch and content is finally out in North America, the game’s regular sale price of $1.99 will be increasing to $3.99 to reflect all the new content and addition to the game. This new price will go live on July 30th, a little over 4 weeks from now. I have mentioned my interest in raising the price of the game occasionally for the last few months as well, but wanted to make this post official for all to see. So if you are currently interested in the game, you still have plenty of time to get in on the current cheap price before it increases.

Along with this new price change, I also plan to do fewer sales for ZaciSa’s Last Stand and other future games. Looking back over the last year, I ended up doing a sale essentially for 45% of the year. While this did lead to more sales and being noticed more often, I feel that in the long term this ended up hurting the game’s value overall. So I now plan to do only do occasional sales. For ZaciSa’s Last Stand in North America, I don’t plan to do another sale until at least late this year.

I am currently working on a new small patch for the North American version of the game that will fix minor bugs and other issues. This new patch will not add anything new, but will improve on the game. For example, the gameplay will be even smoother, even the more hectic scenes will become very stable and smooth. Another thing that has been changed is game balance. A few maps like PING 1.5+ and BLOK DROP U have their starting money increased. The Tesla Coil bot also has been slightly adjusted to make it a little more powerful. Bot upgrade costs has also been slightly altered so that later level upgrades will now cost less, allowing for higher level upgrades. Game over scores have also been changed too, the money you have left over no longer influences your score as much, and is capped off at a certain big number. For example, if you had $1 billion left over, it would only add to your final score the same as having $100 million left over. Bank Loans also no longer penalize you as much and are more lenient in game over. Both of these game over changes have been made to allow for more even and fair scores overall. This patch should be submitted to Nintendo within the next few weeks and should be expected for a late July or early August launch.

Even though I am now hard at work on my next big game, I am still planning a big patch for the end of the year for ZaciSa’s Last Stand in all regions. This new patch will feature a bunch of brand new maps, including a few new indie cross-over maps. It is possible this patch might include new bots and enemies, but so far the only thing I am sure about is that the patch will add new map and other changes. One new thing that will be added, is a new area called Challenges. This new area will take certain maps and give you a specific challenge to fulfill. For example, one such challenge might be to achieve a score of 100,000 on the map Space Station 001 by only using 3 Drones. Another new change will likely be the introduction of DLC for paid maps. These DLC maps will be an addition to the already planned free maps I will be working on. Each DLC map will be planned as big maps that are worth your time. Some DLC maps will actually introduce a new type of maps that I plan to call Big Maps. These will be more complex larger maps then what you are used to now. These large maps will require you to use more strategy and planning to stay alive. Price and details of these potential DLC maps will be announced at a later date.

After nearly 8 months in development, the new 1.2 patch for ZaciSa’s Last Stand on the Nintendo Wii U eShop is finally approved! Featuring a lot of new content as well as major improvement to the game, this update brings about a whole new feel for the game. Not only have I spent a lot of time to help ensure all these extra content is welcomed, but also spent time going over the code line by line to make the game improved, faster and better for all to enjoy. This patch will release for everyone in North America on June 11th, 2015!

To mark the importance of this big patch, I am putting the game on sale for 40% off at $1.19 starting on the same date, June 11th, 2015. This special sale will last 4 weeks and will all mark the game’s one year anniversary as well.

Pollux System – Defend your outpost station orbiting the Pollux Star. Watch out for those solar flares!

New Game Mode: Insanity Mode

Focusing the game on speed and the chaos it brings,the mode starts out with faster enemies and more enemies to keep up with. Designed with chaos in mind, each level features a random Special Event that can either help you or harm you. This Special Event can help you, such as enemies for that level having reduced health or enemies giving you double the money or score points. Or, this can possibly sink you with enemies moving at much faster speeds or the dreaded Double or Triple Enemy Spawns to overwhelm you. How lucky are you?

Online Leaderboards

All maps will now have Online Leaderboards for each of the following Modes: Hard, Insanity & Endurance.

Can you crack the top 100?

Top Five Average!

Another new Online Leaderboard feature is the Top Five Average! This new ranked feature will take your top 5 Online Scores in each of the eligible modes (Hard, Insanity & Endurance), combine them and average them to get your new score. This combined score will be ranked among others in each of the modes mentioned. Allowing for a new way to face off against your friends and strangers across the world!

Miiverse Posting

Want to show off your brand new score on any of the maps? Use the new Mivierse Post button to post to Miiverse! Will automatically attack a screenshot of your game’s map last second before total destruction to show off your strategy.

New Weapon Bot: Tesla Coil Bot

Brand new high level bot that zaps at enemies quickly and forms chains to reach enemies well beyond its range. As you increase its chain ability, this will become a very powerful new weapon to unleash on your enemies.

2 New Enemies

Not to be outdone, the enemy has some brand new tricks up it’s sleeves. These brand new enemies are featured later in the game to help ensure their universal dominance.

Spe’d Bug: A fast little ship that does little damage but is capable at moving fast and is a pro at cutting through your defenses like butter.

The Destroyer 2.0: The mothership. Even though it’s very slow, its capable of doing a lot of damage to your bases. Better watch out, as it will spawn brand new enemies to distract you.

5X Game Speed

Want to watch each level fly by? Well, now you can. This will allow you to reach higher levels even quicker then before. Due to the chaos in Insanity Mode, 5X Game Speed is omitted however.

GulAtiCa Bank Loans

Need a little extra pick-me-up? GulAtiCa’s Services are here to help! For a small service charge of course. Take out a new loan to help fight off those nasty evildoers. While a loan is active, rewarded money & score from enemies is reduced until the loan is paid off. Once the loan is paid off automatically or manually in advance, things will return to normal. Better pay off that loan before gameover though!

I am excited to announce that the next patch for ZaciSa’s Last Stand for the Nintendo Wii U eShop in North America is just around the corner!
